Apple didn’t introduce the App Store into Mac OS X until Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Here’s what you need to do to get the App Store. You can find out what OS X version you are on by clicking on the Apple icon, then select “About This Mac”. The number under the Apple logo is the version you are on. 10.5.x is Leopard and 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.
If you are on Leopard:
- Jul 26, 2011 Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and resolves issues with: Transferring personal data, settings, and compatible applications from a Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard to a new Mac running Mac OS X Lion; Certain network printers that pause print jobs immediately and fail to complete.

Jan 06, 2011 App updates: The Mac App Store keeps track of all your purchased apps and notifies you when free updates are available. Download Mac App Store & Mac OS X 10.6.6. Because the Mac App Store is part of the 10.6.6 update, you must download that system update to get the Mac App Store, you will not see it as an individual download. Go to the Apple menu. Apple states the following basic Snow Leopard system requirements are: Mac computer with an Intel processor ( IA-32 ). ' Yonah ' processors such as Core Solo and Core Duo can run only 32-bit applications; later x86-64. 5 GB of free disk space. DVD drive (also accessible via Remote.
You first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard. You can find out how to do that at my “How to upgrade from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6)” post. Once you do that, come back to this post and follow the instructions below.

If you are on Snow Leopard:
1. First click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. If you see the “App Store…” menu item then you can stop here, you already have the App Store.
2. If you don’t have the “App Store…” menu item then click on the “Software Update…” menu item.
3. This will launch the Software Update dialog. Once the dialog completely loads, look for an item called “Mac OS X Update Combined”. That is the OS X update that includes the App Store, so go ahead and install that. It took about 30 minutes for me.
4. After the install is complete click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. You should now see the “App Store…” menu item. If you don’t then repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you do. If you still don’t see it then just give Apple a call at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or stop by your nearest Apple store.
If you want to see what version you currently have installed then click the Apple icon then click the “About This Mac” menu item. That will pop up a dialog like the one below. The number below the Apple icon is the version number of the Mac OS X you have installed. Like I mentioned above, it must be 10.6.6 in order to get the App Store.

If your computer can support the newest version of Mavericks 10.9.4, you'd use the
Mac App Store to look into that aspect of getting it, as a download. This would be a
large file and take quite a bit of time over a slow internet connection.
OS X - Upgrade to Mavericks?
If it is too old, it may only be upgradable to Lion OS X 10.7.5, not hardly worth a
jump off the Snow Leopard and Rosetta bandwagon of support for older quality
Netgear nas software for mac free. applications you may have already bought, and have useful relationship with..
See about Mavericks OS X 10.9.x here, along with links to applications in Support:
Your computer likely would need a RAM upgrade to near maximum capacity supported
for best function of both the latest release of Mac OS X, and any applications you'd run.
Also, the hard disk drive may also need to be replaced with a new larger capacity one.
There may be a Firmware update for your computer model, whichever exact one it is.
Most/all of the hardware upgrades should be done before upgrading the OS X & apps.
Sometimes, the issue in an older computer is, the idea an upgrade to a newer OS X
will somehow make it run faster. Not so. Unless the computer is ready for the larger
load of a newer system it was not intended to run when built, it won't be happy.
Do not upgrade over a set of troubles and expect them to go away. You have to
prepare the computer for continued use over its lifetime, and an upgrade is more
than installing software over old software, layering issues under a new learning
curve, and to find the old problems are harder to find under a new coating!
A good upgrade to such a new OS X from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, would be a
refurbished MacBook/Pro 13-inch mid 2010 from reputable reseller online, or
a MacBook Pro 13-inch 2012 (-without retina, +with optical drive) & UPgrade.
These come equipped to run Mavericks and should also handle Yosemite.
You can have the Store add RAM to the MB/Pro, in the order page online, as
the 13-inch non-retina is upgradable that way; or the Apple Store can add it.
The macbook/pro series has better graphics and cpu capabilities than the Air.
And the MB/Pro 13-inch w/o retina is a good value. Get optional AppleCare.

I'd choose the latter one, & check to see if I could add the extra RAM later, myself.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
